Ready to modernize your purchasing process and reduce your AP workload through automation? Let’s dive in.

Procurement software helps create more streamlined processes and improves spend visibility and supplier management by creating a single source of truth for hosting procurement information. 

This guide defines procurement software, lists and describes some of the best procurement software solutions, and explains the types and benefits of procurement software and how it works. 

What is Procurement Software?

Procurement software is computer and mobile device programs that increase the efficiency of the supply chain process by automating certain tasks such as finding and working with suppliers, purchasing goods or services, maintaining inventory, and communicating with vendors. 

Known occasionally as purchasing management software—a procurement software solution is a cloud based solution that manages a supply chain by hosting all the steps of the purchasing process digitally. E-procurement software solutions help keep the purchasing process organized and streamlined, in a unified procurement system. It also facilitates procurement audits.

Choosing the Best Procurement Software for Your Business

To begin, assess the scope of procurement automation: what you need immediately, how your needs will grow, and the budget you will have for the transformation.

A comprehensive source-to-pay suite would be overkill for a small company seeking to automate largely manual processes. Smaller organizations might start by automating payments or invoicing, then gradually expand to other capabilities as budgets and the resources to deploy and support them become available.

Ease of use

Some procurement tools and purchasing software may have robust capabilities but require additional training of team members and costs. Assess how quickly you can roll out the solution across your organization, and the related costs for doing that.

Integration with core accounting or ERP system

The ability to easily integrate with your core financial systems, which are either ERP or accounting systems, will expedite rollout, sync data, and unify and streamline your business processes.

Customer support

Match to your requirements and inquire about coverage. (Weekdays only? Restricted to business hours? 7 X 24 coverage? Other?) Ensure that the service provider has instructional resources and live support in case you need it.

Partner ecosystem

Assessing software vendor partners is valuable for organizations looking to expand capabilities or for assistance with deployment and training.

Customer references

Make sure the references you receive have a similar scope and deployment requirements for the procurement automation management platform. Even better if they run the same core accounting, financial or ERP systems.

Other considerations

Ask yourself questions like:

  • Should I go for a locally installed software package or a SaaS platform? We recommend the latter. The rise of cloud computing is becoming a trend in the market, as it offloads much of the updating and maintenance of the software to a third-party company. Hosting your procurement software in the cloud also ensures everyone can access the data, enhancing visibility across the entire supply chain and facilitating collaboration among your teams.
  • Does it address your main pain points? If your company suffers losses from lack of communication, for instance, make sure the software solution you have in mind addresses it. Confirm that it’s easy to communicate both internally and between the team.
  • Is it legally compliant? Here, we are referring to common heavy regulations on business accounting and global cross-border payments. Keeping yourself compliant with laws like these is far easier with a cloud-based procurement software platform that eliminates any of that guess work for you.
  • Can it generate analytics from financial data? Accurately tracking data is a significant selling point for any procurement software, as it helps you draw actionable insights from all the data you collect. Real-time dashboards are important. These features lead to better, smarter decision-making and financial planning.
  • Is it secure? Data security has become a major talking point for businesses of all sizes and industries thanks to widespread data breaches. Does the procurement software you have your eye on have features that secure your supply chain?
  • Does it have mobile support? Employees are becoming more mobile thanks to smart devices. Many impactful procurement platforms have an iOS or Android app to allow for faster communication.

Types of Procurement Software

Procurement software automates a broad range of activities relating to business purchasing. An umbrella term often used to address the scope of coverage is spend management.

Core applications of procurement management software include:

Sourcing

A first step toward automating procurement, where a sourcing team identifies suppliers and formalizes agreements in contracts.

Supplier Discovery

Allows you to search for suppliers based upon many factors such as industry, location, product category, supply chain sustainability rating and more.

Supplier Management

Also known as supplier onboarding. Refers to the tasks associated with collecting and maintaining supplier information for record-keeping such as contact information, certification status and more.

Supplier Information Management

For managing supplier information after onboarding. Monitors essential data such as supplier lifecycle, performance and risk, and often features a scorecard-style rating for each supplier.

Contract Management

Automates the creation, execution and management of a contractual agreement to enforce compliance. Contracts can be used to generate electronic catalogs or invoices for services.

Catalog Management

Often referred to as e-procurement. Allows buyers to search catalogs of pre-approved products and services from suppliers under contract, and create purchase requisitions. Requisition approval triggers a purchase order that is sent to the supplier for fulfillment.

Procure-to-Pay

Automates the transactional processes that can start with a purchase order, then move to invoice and payment processing. The most robust procure-to-pay software solutions allow suppliers to generate invoices from contracts and service entry sheets (for complex services, planned or unplanned).

Source-to-Pay

Expands procure-to-pay functionality with sourcing capabilities. (See Sourcing.)

Invoice Automation Electronic Invoicing

A subset of procure-to-pay automation that focuses on the processing of invoices.

Accounts Payable Automation

Focuses on the payables aspect of procurement automation: generating electronic payments, dynamic discounting, supply chain finance, and global tax compliance.

Spend Analysis

Spend analysis classifies and enriches spend data to deliver real-time information relating to your suppliers, buyers, and spend categories. Valuable for identifying purchasing patterns and opportunities for cost savings, performance improvements and overall efficiencies. Typically part of a procure-to-pay or source-to-pay solution suite.

The Benefits of Using Procurement Software

The payback from procurement software relates to the scope of deployment. Here is a sample list of benefits you can expect from automating your procurement operations.

  • Accelerate delivery of compliant orders and the processing of valid, tax-compliant invoices
  • Increase spending off POs and achieve close to 100% automated invoice processing
  • Support complex transactions involving evaluated receipt settlement (ERS) invoicing, contract invoicing, and invoicing off services entry sheets
  • Prevent contract leakage
  • Better management of cash and working capital for you and your suppliers
  • Improved supplier relationships
